Revealing mistake: The French tanks that attack Paul et al. Towards the end of the second act are supposed to be Saint Chamond tanks. There is only one of those left in the world, and it is not on screen: the undercarriage and tracks don't even come close to looking like that of a Saint Chamond, because it's actually a BMP-1 dressed up to look like a Saint Chamond.

Sons of Anarchy (2008)

Salvage - S6-E6

Revealing mistake: When the police SUV is flipped, you can briefly see the cylinder of the air cannon used to do this on the underside of the car. (00:28:00)

Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)

Revealing mistake: When Tigress is hatching a plan to escape Gongmen Tower after they have been trapped, she looks out over the wall. But take a close look at the archers: they all move in perfect sync, indicating the same animation models were used for all of them.

Revealing mistake: When Fury drives between the Jeep and the Mitsubishi, the sides of both cars are already damaged, and both are missing the mirrors on the sides that Fury drives past, indicating those cars were used for earlier takes. (00:30:40)

Arrow (2012)

Crucible - S2-E4

Revealing mistake: When Oliver is threatening Mathis' lawyer, he shoots him in the shoulder. When Oliver grabs the arrow and pushes it through the shoulder, there is a significant difference between the angles. Where the arrow is coming out, it is practically horizontal, but in the chest, it is at a thirty degree angle.

Arrow (2012)

The Odyssey - S1-E14

Revealing mistake: After Fires shoots Wilson, he shoots a few more times with the camera on him. Here you can see that the muzzle flash is pretty obviously CGI. Look for things like that fact that it's very small, there's no light shed on the car beside Fires or on himself and there is no smoke.

Inception (2010)

Revealing mistake: When the chase in Mombasa has just begun, the camera is moving in front of Cobb at one point. Notice how the people behind the camera are moving into Cobb's paths, despite the fact that they weren't there a second ago?

Revealing mistake: Alice throws a new magazine for her gun up, and it stays in the air for a good ten seconds (adjusted for slow-mo). For something to stay up in the air, you would need to throw it a good hundred feet, and the hallway simply isn't that high. (00:22:40)

Revealing mistake: When Alice shoots the zombie in the blue dress, we get a frontal shot of the gun. Pay close attention to her trigger finger: it doesn't move at all, while the gun does fire.

Revealing mistake: When Bane first breaks into the stock exchange, he forces one of the guards into shooting his gun. Two mistakes: there is no flash or muzzle flare, and the gun has an insane amount of recoil. It's not a cannon, it's a 9mm. It's also not the guard being startled by Bane: Bane is the one holding his arm.

Dredd (2012)

Revealing mistake: When Dredd headbutts Kay, you can see that he actually misses. You can tell because he moves forward further than Kay's face would allow.

Inception (2010)

Revealing mistake: When the track-Humvee gets blown up, there is a full second delay between the explosion and the Humvee getting flipped.

Transformers (2007)

Revealing mistake: When Optimus Prime is powersliding into the city, right before he transforms, you can see that the truck is actually a CGI replica, because the blue is much lighter than it was a second ago, when he already burst out of the shadow of the alley.

Drive (2011)

Revealing mistake: When Gosling overtakes the car via the shoulder, you can see dust in front of his Mustang being thrown up by the camera car.

Friso94

Revealing mistake: When Optimus has his 'rage' on Wacker Drive, you can see that cars that are being flipped not entirely by volition, since some of them (most notably the red BMW before he cuts a Decepticon clean in half) aren't even touched by Optimus or any Decepticons. (02:15:15)

Suggested correction: Actually if you look real closely, then you will see a shot, which resembles that of Bumblebee's.

Revealing mistake: When Optimus returns from the dead, he says: "We will kill them all.". The same footage is used when he makes his speech with: "your leaders will now understand", only it's cut slightly shorter.
